I put together a 14.5" 300Blk for hunting and used a Noveske barrel. It also came with the gas block. Couldn't ask for any better in this case.

My son is the hunter in the family. In your experience what load should I steer him to for deer out of a 16 inch upper I'm building for him?

I'm using the Vortex 110gr TSX ammunition. Last year I shot a 197lb (dressed weight) 8 pointer at 176 yards and took out both lungs and the heart. Through and through shot. I've taken a ton of deer inside of 100 yards and no issues. I'm still getting comfortable with the round for deer and I'm thinking my range limit is going to be 250 yards max.

My only foray into the .300 blackout world has been with a Wilson Combat 11.3" barrel, but it has run flawlessly, and has been very accurate. (even with my injuries and tired old eyes) It's on an SBR I keep for home defense so I shoot supersonic Hornady 110gr Vor-tx exclusively as a duty round.

What ammo do you plan to run? What goals are you looking for? Sometimes you chose what ammo you want to shoot first, then go look for a barrel suited to shoot that type. Otherwise you're stuck with a barrel, and searching for ammo it likes... I contacted Wilson Combat and talked to them before I ordered my barrel. (Sure they're salesmen, and just want to sell their product, but they also know that if they recommend me one, then sell me one that doesn't work, they'll get bad press in forums and social media.)

im planning to run any ammo I can get. Good, bad, sub, super, all the grains.
